Anyone else tuning in?

I've got Celtics/Cavs on.

@siggy47, it looks like Charlotte is imploding right at the end of a very close game. You might squeak this one out.

Shocking result

Not yet. With the kiddos visiting my parents. Have to pick my wife up from work in a bit.

Will definitely watch the second half.

Just got home. Looks like the Lakers got a pretty solid start.

I'm surprised OKC are behind the Spur by double digits. And Wemby isn't even playing.

Oh wow, the Spurs, without their top 3 scorers, just beat OKC. This group just got interesting. Assuming Lakers will beat the Jazz tonight, Lakers remain the only undefeated team in this group.

I was trying to tell @grayruby that the Lakers were in really good position to potentially sweep their group and have an easy playoff road.

38 sats \ 1 reply \ @grayruby 20 Nov

Yes. I miscalculated how good OKC would be without a C. Not very.

Someone came to mind as a trade target. They should get Time Lord from Portland. He's a great rim protector and lob threat. That would be a great big rotation and excellent injury insurance.

I just turned the game on. Cavs not behind by a lot. Hard to say who will win at this point.

I have to drive kids to art class in an hour, so probably will miss most of the games. Will tune back in when I get back from kids' art class.

They weathered a hot start from the Celtics.

Just got home. This game isn’t as close as I hoped. I figured the Cavs would lose tonight. They are due for a loss and Boston wants to prove a point at home but was hoping for a good game.

17/25 from 3? Oh my.

40 sats \ 19 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 20 Nov

It's been pretty ridiculous.

The Nets need to pick it up, or else Siggy's toast.

22 sats \ 18 replies \ @grayruby 20 Nov

Nice run by the Cavs. Let's see if they can keep it close.

Very impressive. The Celtics need Horford back in there.

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @grayruby 20 Nov

I wish the refs would let them play a bit. Some of these recent fouls are lame.

I wonder if @mega_dreamer can get us some Emirates Cup outcomes to predict.

Here you go :) More Emirates Cup Markets coming next week.

Fantastic! Thank you.

What might have even more interest than nightly games are outcomes for the whole tournament: i.e. who will be the champ and who will win MVP. Those probably need to wait on your next update, though.

That would be fun.

Wow, I did not expect the Cavs to claw their way back into this game. What a 3rd quarter. Watching the final minute now, but looks like it will be hard for the Cavs to get a win out of this. Let's see.

I just found out Inside the NBA is moving to ESPN/ABC next season. I'm glad they figured out the legal/contract stuff and the show is staying.

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @Undisciplined OP 20 Nov

Yeah, it's good news, but I can't help be concerned that ESPN will screw it up.

28 sats \ 0 replies \ @gnilma 20 Nov

I heard they are keeping the same crew and same production team in Atlanta. ESPN just airing it. Should be less room for ESPN to screw it up with that setup.

My Mavs pick looking pretty good so far.

21 sats \ 6 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 20 Nov

You steered us well

19 sats \ 5 replies \ @gnilma 20 Nov

Still another half to play. Hopefully Mavs step on the gas and don't make it close. I don't want to go through again what I went through with the Knicks Nets game...
